Features & Controls
Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-dOOr models, the switch on each
rear door works only that door’s lock. It
won’t lock (or unlock) all of the
doors-that’s a safety feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside, then
get out and close the door.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. All of the doors will lock when
you move your shift lever out
of P
(Park) or N (Neutral). Each time you
close your doors and turn on the
ignition, the doors will lock
automatically. If someone needs to get
out while the vehicle is running, have
that person use the manual or power
lock. When the door is closed again, it
will lock automatically as long as the
shift lever is out of
P (Park) or N
(Neutral). All doors will automatically
unlock when the ignition is turned off.
If you don’t want the doors to
automatically unlock when you turn the
ignition off, you can remove the Lock
Control fuse in the Component Center.
See the
Index under Fuses G Circuit
Breakers .

can lock and unlock your doors or
unlock your trunk from up to
30 feet
(9 m) away using the key chain
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.

1 Fuses & Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring
itself. This greatly reduces the chance of
damage caused by electrical problems.
Some fuses are located
in a fuse block
in the glove box as shown.above. To
locate the fuse block, lift out the storage
bin inside the glove box. See the
diagram later in this section. Another
set of fuses is located in the
component center, under the
instrument panel.
Additional fuses are located in the
underhood electrical centers
on the
right and left sides of the engine
compartment.

Headlight Wiring
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker in the component center.
An electrical overload will cause the
lights to go
on and off, or in some cases
to remain off.
If this happens, have your
headlight system checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow,
etc., the wiper will stop until the motor
cools.
If the overload is caused by some
electrical problem, have it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel
protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit
until the problem is fixed.
